- LA BALEINE by Sylvère Petit, producer: EAVE graduate Isabelle Truc is in pre-production. Written by Sylvère Petit and Nathan Le Graciet, the story takes us back to autumn 1985. A storm awakens the Mediterranean. A village is devastated, the harvest ravaged. The sea has deposited a whale on the beach. It’s dead and is declared a carrier of disease. With his tractor, his harvest trailer and three kitchen knives, ailing, misanthrope wine grower, Corbac, wants to save the cetacean’s skeleton from a sanitary blast of dynamite. Day and night, his daughter Mathilde sees the biggest of creatures paraded, piece by piece, past the church, the school and the distillery, awakening the villagers’ unconscious minds and stirring up violence. Mathilde knows her father: he’ll see it through to the bitter end… Serge Lalou and Sophie Cabon produce LA BELEINE for Les Films d’Ici Méditerranée, in co-production with Iota Production (Isabelle Truc and Lawrence Absalon) Upside Films, Spain’s Imagic Telecom. Pre-purchased by Ciné+, the feature film enjoys support via a CNC advance on receipts, as well as backing from Eurimages, the Gan Film Foundation, the Occitanie/Pyrénées-Méditerranée region (where filming will unfold until 14 February, with Michaël Capron heading up photography), Montpellier Méditerranée Métropole, the SOFICA companies Cineventure and Cofimage, and Procirep/Angoa. It also benefits from partnerships with the Pelagis Observatory and Paris’ Natural History Museum, and enjoys further backing from Le Groupe Ouest and the Francophone Co-Production Meetings, among other sources.
